Hi Ted, thanks for still letting me in, I will let you know details on donations Thursday, and look forward to seeing you and skiing on Saturday.
Great idea, good job to all involved for the time and effort involved.

I am a volunteer with the Calgary Stampede Promotions Committee, this is right down our alley, we were in Panorama for their Western Days, Harry the Horse skied down the hill a couple of times, and we just helped out, we taught line dancing whatever we could do to help make the event a success . . . if you would like to discuss please give me a call 403-660-3650

If anyone hasn’t booked their hotel for the race yet, I’ve got a Groupon I bought that is $200 for 2 nights in a deluxe queen/king room. Regular price of $400 for both nights. If someone wants to buy the voucher from me & save some money, I can be reached by email at white88knight88@yahoo.ca. I’d love to come but had to bail to hit a bullarama instead. Good luck to everyone at the race!
